In no particular order (kinda grouped geographically) Patriot - World's of Fun Wildfire - Silver Dollar City Batman - Six Flags St. Louis Great White - SeaWorld San Antonio Dr. Diabolical Cliffhanger - Six Flags Fiesta Texas Superman - Six Flags Fiesta Texas Goliath - Six Flags Fiesta Texas...

1. Steel Vengeance 2. Voyage Steel Vengeance is just so stupidly long with so many elements and every element hits. And honestly for me, there is a pretty big gap between Steel Vengeance and the Voyage whereas there is basically no gap between Voyage, Maverick, Outlaw Run and Iron Rattler.

It's probably nothing but the picture in that Instagram post was Boss.

Oh why not, I'll do one now and then compare in ~1.5 months when I should have ~60 more credits between trips to Sea World San Antonio, Fiesta Texas, Over Texas and possibly Frontier City over Labor Day weekend and then the first weekend of October will be Carowinds, Six Flags Over Georgia, Fun...

I had always enjoyed roller coasters but my enthusiasm didn't really start until ~2018/2019 and then exploded in 2021. There was a storm of about 4 factors that turned me into into an enthusiast. The first and most innocent was my first Prowler rides (and night rides) in 2018 and my first...

This list has me so excited for my trip next year. Will be hitting KD, SFNE, SFGAdv, Hershey and BGW. I look at that list and see as many as four 10/10 coasters for me. My list is significantly less but I can confidently say that there isn't a bad Intamin that I have ridden: 1. Maverick -...

I'm American so appetizer, haha! I don't feel like I enjoy desserts as much after I had already ate and am likely full. I also do not have much of a sweet tooth as I generally prefer salty snacks. Some kind of battered and fried cheese or chips & salsa sounds amazing right now a couple...

I don't know why but both the chain lift and the holding "brake" being the same chain just fascinates me. Great addition to Dorney! Off topic but my gut says something like this is heading to Valleyfair for 2025 as it'd fit perfectly on the old dinosaur's alive plot of land.

Calling it a disaster is being dramatic. I think a good proxy of "GP" sentiment in this case is Cedar Fairs stock price and there was a pronounced dip following the accident. From early July to mid July its stock price dipped by about 10% falling from roughly $40/share to roughly $36/share...

MLD nailed it. I recall seeing an Alan Schilke interview (linked below) around the time of opening of Steel Vengeance and when discussing the 90 degree drop, his comment was “that happens right at 200 feet for this length of train”. B&M Dive’s against B&M Giga’s are another example of train...

I made my first visit to Kennywood on July 10 this year and it was bad vibes from the start... The start being weeks prior when it was discovered that the park would be closed on Tuesdays starting July 11 through the rest of the year. The plan was to do Kings Island on the 10th and Kennywood...

The total fixed assets of Cedar Fair are ~$3.8 billion at cost and that's across a dozen or so parks not mention any additional water parks. Lost Island was $100 million to build. So yeah, $2 billion seems absurd even acknowledging that it is to be way more than an amusement park. That said...

Just heard about that. Wow!

Zambezi Zinger - After months of anticipation of wondering what World's of Fun's new project was, months of construction and finally nearly a one month delay due to what is still some unknown reason, I finally was able to get on the Zambezi Zinger on Monday, June 19th! I arrived to the...

Not that I'm aware of but I'm not at the park. The park also didn't make any kind of announcement about it opening to passholders so who knows.

Sorry for the triple post, ha, but I feel this deserves a bump. ZZ has opened to passholders today.

There's not much like the excitement you get from visiting a new park and riding its unique coasters for the first time. Between the anticipation and nerves, the high of actually being there and riding is really special to me and I'd presume to other coaster enthusiasts. I still have trouble...

Sorry for the double post. A WoF regular on Facebook noted that a bunch of employees were cheering and taking pics in the ZZ station and eventually rode it within the past hour. My phone is being difficult (maybe me with the handful of beers drank) otherwise I'd add a photo and link.

This is where I'm at. It looks like it has a good variety of perfectly hitting elements with limited repetitiveness. Repetitiveness is the one thing that RMC sometimes can overdo (and yes, I'm being entitled re: RMC criticism).

Not the greatest quality but it is the first POV I've seen and it looks fantastic! It looks like a smaller yet longer feeling Iron Gwazi. I think this will be a top 3 RMC in North America.
